This guy is impressive.

Top 10 on last 7 starts ( I think? ), a win at Doral, and top of the leaderboard today at transitions with 83 percent of fairways, 89 percent of greens and only 13 putts on his first nine holes.

Butch's students are doing well.

Would nto be surprised if he wins the Masters at all

He's a great player no doubt, but why does he always look so nervous?

We met him at a charity pro am event last year. He's as nice as bloke as you're likely to come across. Spent hours signing things. Just a nice guy, happy for him today.

A great shot is when you go for it and pull it off. A smart shot is when you don't have the guts to try it. ~ Phil Mickelson.

I want to say Watney may be the most underrated young guy in golf, but he's already 30 years old. His resume speaks for itself though; four wins, including two this year, all at pretty big-ticket tournaments, plus three solid appearances in majors last year.

I really enjoyed watching him today. He seemed like a class act and a great guy out on the course. Anyone know how tall he is? Maybe it's just me but he looked to be pretty tall..

He's 6 feet 2 inches.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By Elmer ·

      I get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By TN94z ·

      I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
